A. Overview of Information Collection
C. Authority
Title of Information Collection: FHAInsured Mortgage Loan Servicing
Involving the Loss Mitigation Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0589.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Numbers: HUD–27011, HUD–
90035, HUD–90041, HUD–90045, HUD–
90051, HUD–90052.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: FHA’s
Loss Mitigation program options (24
CFR 203.501) and incentives efforts
provide mortgagees with reimbursement
for using tools to bring a delinquent
FHA-insured mortgage loan current in
as short a time as possible, to provide
an alternative to foreclosure to the
extent possible, and to minimize losses
to the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund.
Home retention options promote
reinstatement of the mortgage, allowing
the mortgagor to retain home
ownership, while disposition options
assist mortgagors who cannot recover
with an alternative to foreclosure. The
HUD forms used are part of the
collection effort for non-performing
insured mortgage loans.
Respondents: Mortgagees or
Mortgagors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
412,966.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,254,958.

Housing reserves. Funding is allocated
to raise PHAs’ reserves to two months
of expenses. The calculation that
determines this value is outlined in
Section 4 of the Shortfall Notice: PIH–
2021–12. Along with the infusion of
funds, PHAs create Improvement Plans
to improve their financial situation and
address financial issues. However,
without a Paperwork Reduction Act

it is difficult to monitor the PHAs

expeditious way. OMB requested that
PIH begin to collect enough information
